The stop-cock action of the muscular-walled arterioles was much emphasised by Johnson more than thirty years ago, and is now accepted as a factor in the production of hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart, as well as in explanation of ...

The Polyuria of Paroxysmal Atrial

Two patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and an associated polyuria were studied to delineate the mechanism of the increase in urine flow. A striking saluresis was noted in both patients. The increased sodium excretion was probably due to decreased sodium reabsorption, perhaps at proximal tubular nephron sites. This inhibition of sodium reabsorption could explain both the saluresis and ...
